Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomJust an hour from London, Hartwell House is a hidden gem. The hotel boasts a perfect location with expansive grounds for leisurely strolls and breathtaking scenery. Once home to King Louis XVIII, it is steeped in historic charm and elegance. We had a lovely experience, particularly enjoying breakfast served by the very friendly staff member, Sonar. Every room is impressive, adorned with beautiful paintings and thoughtfully decorated. As soon as you step inside, it feels as though time has paused, making you want to relax by the cozy fireplaces scattered throughout the hotel. While I had some initial concerns after reading reviews about renovations, I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are spacious, and for a place with such historical significance, the hotel is in excellent condition.

United KingdomThe most incredible experience from arrival to departure. I had a great tour of the hotel and a little history lesson regarding the historical figures who lived in the hotel ( I think the gentleman's name was Jacob, thank you!!). My room was stunning with a wonderful view of the grounds. The hotel decor is beautiful and very Bridgertonesque but also very comfortable with great spots where you can just chill and read a book. The bar is incredible, very cosy and British - definitely recommend. Spa was super chilled, not many people around. It was a warm day so I grabbed a sun lounger to soak up the rays on the patio. I also had an incredible frozen facial where the facialist treats your skin with - 200 degree blasts of air, I WAS GLOWING for days. Food is very traditional with everyone dressed well for dinner, I don't mind dining alone but did feel more conscious than I would normally, maybe because it was so formal but the food was beautiful!! On my last day I did a lovely walk in the grounds before taking a quick taxi and jumping on a train back to the big smoke, Thanks to everyone for my wonderful stay.

Room spacious with view of garden. Beautiful walk around the estate. Historical links. Safe car parking. Breakfast excellent. Evening dinner first rate. Staff very helpful and polite. Spa facilities excellent (but, on the day we left, we were not allowed access to the swimming pool after our check-out time. This was very disappointing)

United KingdomWe would have liked to see some evidence of wilding in the grounds, perhaps introducing some pigs and wild ponies. The bath in room 28 needed a scrub. It would have been even better if the portions at dinner had been larger. At breakfast I would have liked fresh avocado on my toast instead of a smear of avocado paste.
The grounds and house were beautiful, well preserved and interesting. There were plenty of staff who were professional and attentive. Our room was lovely. It was large and comfortable. There were plenty of sockets to recharge our electronic devices.
